  Hi,

  There isn’t a way for you to delete them. Anyone can follow your blog with a valid email address through 1) the follow button at the lower–right corner when viewing your blog as a logged–out visitor, or 2) the Follow button in the top left when viewing your blog as a logged–in WordPress.com user.

  Any of your former students can also unsubscribe to your New Post email notifications by clicking the Unsubscribe link in the email they receive from your blog.

  Alternatively, you can limit who can view your blog by setting your blog as Private in Settings -> Privacy, then invite the viewers of your private blog in Users -> Invite New.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.
